His lawyer said "I've got to do better. Put it on me."

Thing that bugs me the most about her. During the 19 season she would run on the field after the game to walk with O when he was going to shake hands with the opposing coach. She knew she would be on tv and had to make herself known. I can't stand her.

It’s merely a prepayment of future earnings under the contract had he continued to be employed. She was never entitled to those future earnings to begin with post-divorce. So she shouldn’t be entitled to the lump sum buyout prepayment of future earnings.


Actually, the buy-out wasn’t a lump sum payment. His extension was 5yrs guaranteed and the buyout has been paid over 5 yrs. The last payment will be made this December.

He earned that buyout while married though


I agree. I think the value of the buyout has to be included in the value of the contract that was sign when they were married because it was guaranteed money. I would assume he would have to pay alimony for the term of the contract or part of the buyout. Half does seem kind of hefty though.

exactly
The contract was in place prior to the divorce therefore all terms were in place.

No. As far as I can tell from the opinion, she didn't get any of the salary he was paid under that contract in 2020 or 2021 (after the termination of the community in February 2020). The majority invented the notion of the buyout specifically being some form of community asset golden parachute, which I'm not aware of Louisiana law ever contemplating before. McCallum's dissent seemed to make it pretty clear that he thought the majority (which, oddly, was majority retired non-justices appointed ad hoc for this case) had already decided to give her the money, and then made up some legalese-sounding bs to justify it. That makes more sense than what the majority wrote.

Not sure where you heard this rumor. The rumor i heard, is his now ex-wife making a scene at a bunch of dinners. Some say she appeared to be bipolar. At one of the dinners she made a big scene in front of people, players, etc... and that is what caused Ed to file for divorce, allegedly.

I believe they were separated shortly after the national championship too. I wonder if they were separated when he got his new contract. Too lazy to look that up. That would be an interesting fact if I'm hearing the case.

They both have had constant ebbing and flowing of substance abuse issues. In Oxford, they had restraining orders filed against each other at one point

This is as much about contract law as it is community property from a divorce. The terms of the contract stated that upon certain conditions LSU would pay him. If he completely violated some terms that didn’t warrant a buy out like NCAA issues or Title IX, then he wouldn’t get any buy out. That contract was executed before he was divorced and in place when he was fired for non-performance therefore he was entitled to agreed upon provisions. The only way she wouldn’t be entitled to that specific clause is if the contract was voided and as he continued employment (his next contract). At least that’s how I read this.

I do not agree with paying her another penny to be abundantly clear.

Just in case you want to know, it's moot, not mute, in this scenario.
